A Wilmington man who was indicted on federal credit fraud charges has been ordered jailed until his trial.

U.S. Magistrate Robert B. Jones Jr. ruled Monday in Wilmington that there is a serious risk that James Walter Goddard, 40, “will endanger the safety of another person or the community.”

Goddard, who prosecutors said was known as the “Credit Doctor of North Carolina,” is being held in the Brunswick County Jail because there are no federal detention facilities in the area, according to Robin Zier, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Raleigh.

It said Goddard submitted hundreds of false credit card and lines of credit applications in other persons’ names.

Goddard met with individuals and business owners during which time they provided him personal information including their full name, address, Social Security number and date of birth, the indictment said.

Goddard “touted his specialized skills, included obtaining credit for newly formed businesses as well as credit repair, charging a 15 percent fee on each credit line he obtained,” according to the indictment.

He laundered more than $950,000 in merchant payments to his Sun Trust accounts from 2006 to 2009, the indictment stated.

“In addition, from 2005 to 2011, Goddard has caused over $4 million in credit application and wire fraud,” it continued.

Kimiti Davis of Raleigh is still riding around in wake county after he was sentence to prison by the federal courts months ago. His wife managed property for Grace ame zion church in raleigh. Kippy and his wife are both member at Grace. The feds and irs should investigate who finance the mortgage deal for Grace church?

He is only around because he paid a doctor under the table to perform a surgery that would medically clear him from going to prison at the moment. I was scammed for $3000 per credit bureau on credit repair, which was never performed. I paid $8500 for him to build my business credit, none of that was performed. Watch out for this man. He will take you to his home, show off on his cars, introduce you to his retarded son to win your business over. This professional con artists will fool you by over promising and never delivering.

Fred Pierce is his front man. Once this midget (Kippy Davis) takes your money. He does not want to do business with you anymore. He uses Fred Pierce, which was bared from practicing law to mediate. Fred also took my money years ago for a ticket. The feds are still investigating them and will close the deal on these guys pretty soon. The Next Level of Sports is a scam!!!! Google this company.

I’m glad he rec’d 18 years should have gotton the max 30.
Back in 2006 to 2007 I gave him 2500.00 to fix a few flaws on my credit report, I was purchasing a home. Weeks would go by, several calls to him and he would never give you a straight answer when he did call back. He said give the reporting agencies a chance to update. Well nothing was updating except his wallet. He said I was being pesty and would have a guy by the name of Chris call me and give me the same bull . $2500.00 is a lot of money for nothing and he was recommended to me by a well known mortgage company which surprised me and wondered if they were getting a kick-back. Anyway I’m out the money.

@ Raleigh, I was done the same way by Kimithi. I had a high credit score and now its in the 400’s from doing business with him. I wish I never ran into this guy! Now I am looking for ways to get my financial life back!
